Sex & Violent Offender Registry

Zachary’s Law in Indiana requires sheriff departments to jointly establish and maintain the Indiana Sheriff’s Sex Offender Registry to provide detailed information about individuals who register as sex or violent offenders at Indiana sheriff departments (or, in Marion County, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department). The purpose of the registry is to inform the general public about the identity, location, and appearance of sex and violent offenders who live, work, or study in Indiana.

The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), established with the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, provides information to the public on the whereabouts of registered sex offenders regardless of state boundaries.
